New airport security measures may affect photographers

In response to a perceived elevated threat from Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups operating out of Syria some airports are ramping up their security checks relating to electronic equipment. This mainly relates to flights to the US out of the UK but may be implemented in Dublin airport.

These new measures can apply to cameras, so you may be asked to power up your camera before boarding. If the device cannot be powered up then you may be forced to leave it behind. So any KPS members travelling to the US please ensure that your battery is fully charged before heading for the airport.
